Can anyone explain to me how * is at 33% approval if so many polls say...

[Iwasthere]

... his numbers are dropping. Dropped 4 % here, and 3 % there. Today the presidents approval have dropped even further, and further, and even further!!! Yet he is STILL at 33%. A drop is never really shown???? If his numbers actually did drop every time they said they did he would at 1 % approval or even less. The media talks as if he has been in the 40s and 50s... BS

1. Overall approval, versus "approval on how he handles the war, the

economy, foreign policy, domestic issues" and what-have-you, perhaps?

The media are talking to people who aren't paying attention, and who are just sorta watching the cables with half an eye, waiting for the latest story about Puking Britney sans Underdrawers, at which point they'll lock on to the screen like a cruise missile seeking its target...

2. It's mind-boggling, isn't it?

I suspect Faux News has something to do with it . . .

3. I Believe NBC at 24%

The polls have been embezzling the results for years now, but there's just so much fraud one can hide before it breaks out.

11. Wow, that sounds almost right. Is there a link?

4. 33% of America is that stupid

It is the intelligence factor

5. how one out of three AMericans can apporove of this

degenerate cretinous sociopath is beyond me

8. That's my point...

1 out of 3 Americans do not approve of him... The media makes it only appear that 1 out of 3 do. We are being duped.

9. Me too!

I'm surprised his wife still approves the failure.

[Botany]

6. His fundy base of 18 to 22% will stick w/ him no matter what

[shadowknows69]

7. I think Fox news has a super secret presidential poll

that always keeps him at 99%. Brings the average up.

[Rude Horner]

10. I've thought the same thing for awhile now

Everytime I hear about a poll, they say his numbers are down, but they seem to have stopped at around 30% or so and never fall farther from that. :wtf:

13. The rule of thirds.

No matter the issue, one third will be in favor, one third will be opposed, one third will be undecided.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but that is the way it goes.

14. MSM polls and net polls don't jive...!

[WI_DEM]

15. 33% is not high, that means 2/3 oppose him. He will always have a core of support

even Nixon did.

16. It's Quite Simple, Actually. It's Because You Fail To Read Or Acknowledge All The Times They'll Say

he's up 3%, or 4%, or otherwise. Since you're missing half of the movements, your math ain't exactly gonna add up correctly.

That's just the truth. Every few polls he's up a bit, but they aren't paid as much attention to. Therefore, if you only pay attention to the ones that show he's down, of course it's going to appear that he should be in the negatives by now. But that's only because you aren't acknowledging the entire story.
